Qualities of Units

Yes, I know they are ranked (commando, veteran, green, etc) but their materials
should be also; depending on how much money and time you have it should take
shorter or longer to outfit them with (rusty, medial, good) weapons.

I think the "military readiness" setting takes care of this, don't you?

As an optional "seperate" theme on short games, maybe!
But, come to think of it, it is WAY too complex for a -detailed- month long TBS setup to reply at an incoming adversary units group.
That's XCOM (and others) soldier outfitting combat engine.
A Phalanx flashing the metal of a sword, a sub unloading its torpedos, a tank shelling... etc.
Not that i am against complexity, too many details might become unmanageable to "players".

I agree! A 2-step "military-readiness" feature is good enough for me. If anything.

Hmmm, that sounds best. Experience and general readiness is good. Readiness would seem to include something like morale, wouldn't it?
